The Locust

About

The Locust are a Grindcore band from San Diego, California; probably most know for wearing skin-tight nylon suits when they perform live.

Their music is often very fast and complex with inconsistent time signatures, and incorporating synthesizers and heavy distortions to create a musical masterpiece, or complete noise depending on which side of the fence you fall. When asked about their style, guitarist Justin Pearson said,

"I wanted to change the way people perceive music, or maybe just destroy it in general."

Now the part you've all been waiting for, the albums and imbedded YouTube videos so that you can decide if you hate them...

The first full album they released was the self-titled, "The Locust" in 1998.

There next album, " plague soundscapes" was released in 2003. This album featured a more refined sound and greater focus on keyboards.

Next up is, "New Erections" released in 2007, this undoubtedly the bands pop-est album, although it would still make a pop fans ears burst into flames and singe their hair in the shape of a walrus.

Finally, we have the, "Peels session LP" the most recent album release in 2010, this album has a lot of their old songs rerecorded with John Peel. They're not bad but I prefer the original recordings.

Whether you like them or hate them I hope you enjoyed my poorly written post about them.
